There were several surprising botches last night as part of Extreme Rules
There were several surprising botches last night as part of Extreme Rules

The pay-per-view was billed as the sole night of the year that WWE "goes extreme," but last night's show boasted just one Extreme Rules match.

Fans in attendance at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, made it clear that they came to see weapons and chanted "We want tables" throughout the SmackDown Tag Team match between The Usos and The Street Profits.

The show itself didn't boast any title changes ahead of the annual WWE Draft this coming week. Still, there were several memorable botches from the superstars, the production crew, and even the commentary team.


#6. Corey Graves forgets what he has just witnessed at Extreme Rules

Corey Graves was part of the commentary team for the matches from Monday Night RAW at Extreme Rules, including the triple threat United States Championship match.

Damian Priest was able to retain his Championship despite being put up against both Jeff Hardy and Sheamus, but it appears that their match wasn't all that memorable. Corey Graves announced following their match that The United States Championship match was up next, despite the fact that it had already taken place.


#5. Network botch meant that the WWE Universe missed Alexa Bliss' entrance at Extreme Rules

Alexa Bliss challenged Charlotte Flair for the RAW Women's Championship at Extreme Rules, but many fans missed The Twisted Goddess making her way to the ring.

WWE's broadcast partner Peacock decided to air a commercial just as the star was making her way out to compete in the match. Fans were obviously annoyed about the error and later took to Twitter to vent about another issue that the WWE Universe has had with Peacock.

#4. There were several botches throughout the United States Championship match at Extreme Rules

Damian Priest put his United States Championship on the line against Sheamus and Jeff Hardy last night at Extreme Rules, but it was a match that the Champion would rather forget.

There were several small botches that many members of the WWE Universe picked up on throughout, but some could have changed the outcome of the match.

There was one point where the Champion completely fell off the apron, as seen in the video above, before going on to work with Hardy and the two men then fell over together.

Interestingly, these moments weren't expected in a match like this since Sheamus and Jeff Hardy are veterans of the game.

Despite having several issues throughout the match, Priest was able to pick up the victory and is still the United States Champion.

#3. Jey Uso Tries to stomp on Montez Ford but completely misses at Extreme Rules

The Usos took on The Street Profits at Extreme Rules with the SmackDown Tag Team Championships on the line. Even though they came close to victory, The Street Profits were unable to reclaim their titles.

It was one of the matches of the night as these two teams proved why they are the best that the company currently has to offer. Like many other matches as part of Extreme Rules, there were some awkward moments, one of which came when Jey Uso was looking to stomp Montez Ford through the ropes.

Ford was on the apron, and when the Champion looked to deliver the blow, he got his foot caught on the rope, which made him wobble a bit. Luckily, Jey has been in the ring for a very long time and was able to easily brush this off and continue.

#2. Alexa Bliss attempts to use an Alka Selza pill at Extreme Rules

Last night at Extreme Rules, Alexa Bliss appeared to use an Alka Selza pill after Lilly was destroyed in order to create the effect of her frothing from the mouth.

After The Twisted Goddess was thrown over the announce table, she was obviously handed the pill and then went on to react to the fact that Lilly had been ripped apart at the hands of Charlotte Flair.

The camera angle made it so that the WWE Universe could see the tablet in her mouth before it began working and despite her efforts, she wasn't able to make it happen.

Even before that, Bliss had used a capsule of some kind to create the black blood effect and often used them when she was working alongside The Fiend. This was the first time that Bliss has had one of the tablets backfire on her.

#1. Finn Balor waits too long on the ropes before the finish of the match at Extreme Rules

Roman Reigns defended his Universal Championship against The Demon in the main event of last night's Extreme Rules event.

The Demon was able to take out all of The Bloodline and was heading towards a victory in the Extreme Rules match before a strange ending to the match allowed Reigns to deliver the spear to pick up the win.

Finn Balor climbed up to the top rope to deliver the Coup De Grace to Reigns, but it became clear that he was waiting for something when he didn't deliver the move after a few seconds.

The rope then snapped and The Demon fell, but it appears that the timing of the rope breaking was somewhat delayed, that's if the finish of the match itself wasn't actually a botch.

Under the red light, it was easy for many of these botches to be missed, but the ending of the match saw the lights come up so that the WWE Universe could witness the horror unfold.
